Lucknow : WEDNESDAY’S attack on a leading telephone company dealer, Gaurav Shukla, is leading the police a fine dance over what could be the motive for the crime. It may be mentioned here that though the dealer was carrying cash well upto the tune of Rs 1 lakh, his attackers were not aware of it and first shot at him and then, as an afterthought, took away the money, but not before shooting at him a second time.
The police said they could have worked out a straight rivalry story but for the statement made by the dealer, who vehemently stressed that he had no rival- business or personal.
Shukla, who is undergoing treatment for multiple bullet injuries at KGMU’s Trauma Centre, said in his statement made to the police, that four motorcycle-borne miscreants intercepted him near the Globe Park in Wazirganj.
